There is a reason customers drive hours just to buy the best blueberry plants or large blueberry bushes direct from our farming family.

The original DiMeo family blueberry farms wereestablished over 100 years ago by Michael DiMeo, the father of Anthony DiMeo, Sr. Michael came to America with his two brothers Salvatore and Nicholas DiMeo. The three brothers were raised as hard working Northern Italian farmers in Sulmona, Italy (located only about 1 hour and 30 mins east of Rome) and came over to America with just a few dollars in their pockets and the clothes on their back. Michael DiMeo's sons, Frank DiMeo, Anthony DiMeo, Sr., Michael DiMeo and William DiMeo worked relentlessly hard their entire lives to buy land and plant blueberries on all the DiMeo family blueberry farms. Below is now 87 year-old Farmer DiMeo, Sr. (son of Frank DiMeo) who checked every single blueberry pint at our Wharton packing house, as the filled blueberry pints flew out of our state-of-the-art blueberry packing machine co-owned by fourth generation blueberry farmer, A. DiMeo and third generation blueberry farmer DiMeo, Sr., who are working together.

Look at our NATURALLY GROWN berries.

DiMeo's Picking New Jersey Blueberries in Season

Many of the DiMeo's still use hand picking blueberries to harvest the annual Summer blueberry crop, but toward the end of each New Jersey blueberry season, blueberry farmers can use blueberry picking machines to harvest the very last blueberry harvest.Watch the video below of a third generation DiMeo blueberry farmer operating one of the IBF older BEI blueberry picking machines as he picks the very last blueberry picking. These blueberry harvesters can reduce blueberry farmer picking costs to around .25 cents per blueberry crate instead of having to pay migrant blueberry pickers up to $4.00 for every single berry crate, to hand pick the blueberries during the long extended Summer blueberry picking season. Running this blueberry harvester machine may look easy, but the farmer can't take his eyes off the blueberry rows for a second, or he risks ripping out blueberry bush roots or breaking the expensive blueberry harvester. The new Oxbo blueberry harvesters sell for up to $180,000 each.

DiMeo's Blueberry Farm is a long-time grower of blueberry plants, bearing-size blueberry bushes for sale in New Jersey.

DiMeo Farms Gives Back

The DiMeo blueberry farming family and it's blueberry farmers believe in giving back, so when kids came knocking at our door and needed a sponsor, we proudly sponsored the DiMeo Blueberries Youth Soccer team. If you have a children's non-profit group, just let us know because at the end of every blueberries or blueberry plants planting season, we always try to "share the harvest" with supporting a good cause that benefits children. We believe in the importance of giving back and sharing our success with others. These kids learned about the importance of eating healthier and the amazing health benefits of blueberries. We also gave a presentation on "know your farmer" and "know your food" and where it comes from. The kids also loved great-grandpop DiMeo's corn crib. We told them the story about how he dried out corn on the cob and used it to feed all his free-range chickens and other animals on the DiMeo family farm.

This past year, in 2015, DiMeo Farms generously supported the Police Unity Tour which raises awareness for law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. Ironically, the gentleman standing on the far right in this photo with the "Boston" shirt is a young police officer who was shot in the line of duty. He took time off to coach the DiMeo Blueberries soccer team during his recovery. One of the causes that DiMeo Farms would like to support is combating childhood obesity with eating fresh berries and to help children make healthier eating choices. Getting kids to appreciate farm fresh healthy foods, instead of fast food. DiMeo Farms believes that one of the best ways to combat childhood obesity is to give children healthy fresh locally grown berries at their school or day-camps, and make it free.

When a phone call came in from a child program counselor in the city who told us about her youth group of troubled children who needed to learn the value of hard day's work on a family farm and to also learn about eating better and healthy living, fourth generation farmer Anthony DiMeo III made time to spend with the kids. He included a brief tour of the DiMeo farm and a motivational discussion on "setting life goals and working hard to achieve them." He also gave each of them a free blueberry bush to take home to their families in the Camden and Philadelphia regions. If you have a children's program and would like us to host a farm visit that may include a brief walking tour of our New Jersey blueberry farm and agri-tourism farm then give us a call: (609) 561-5905 and we will check our farmer's schedule for availability. This was another beautiful day at DiMeo Farms in Hammonton. We believe in giving back to others.

We often try to let children's groups pick blueberries for free at our blueberries farm in NJ. This children's learning center was teaching the kids where berries come from and about growing their own healthy berries at home, so when the talk turned to "blueberries" only one name came to mind, DiMeo Farms. They called us and it was a pleasure to let the kids pick blueberries all morning long. The adorable kids had such a great time picking blueberries and we took time to talk with them about the health benefits of organic blueberries and why they should eat fresh berries every day, instead of fast food and junk food. This is where it all starts, with children making better eating choices, and with parents reinforcing it at home. If you would like to book a DiMeo Farm blueberry farm field trip call (609) 561-5905 to schedule school field trips during blueberry season or blueberry planting season. We love teaching kids to eat healthy.

DiMeo Farms has also donated lots of fruit bearing bushes to our local school districts, such as Mullica Township school programs headed by Susan Polk. Ask Susan about our generous support for their sustainable school gardens and we often have many charity bike races that run through our area. Lots of the charity bike race participants often stop after the race or tour to tell us what a beautiful family farm operation we have. These ladies stopped to show their support for DiMeo Farms and also to congratulate Mr. DiMeo for supporting the local community. We are also passionate about supporting women's health issues such as fighting breast cancer with our cancer-fighting berries like blueberries and especially aronia berries, the healthiest berries on the planet. Thanks for stopping ladies!

Appreciating Maximino's 30 Years of Work

81 year-old Maximino Guzman, a migrant farm worker who worked for Grandpop DiMeo at our family's blueberry farm for close to 30 years, came into our lives once again. One Sunday afternoon, his daughter called DiMeo and said they were on their way, driving down to the DiMeo farm. She said her father, Maximino was sick with cancer and he wanted to "walk Grandpop DiMeo's farm just one more time" while he still could. He was greeted by Mr. DiMeo's grandson, Anthony DiMeo III who took the time to walk the frail Maximino around DiMeo's farm and listened to his stories about working with Grandpop DiMeo all those years. His daughter translated his words to English. When Maximino saw Grandpop DiMeo's old truck parked along Grandpop DiMeo's old blueberry plant nursery, he began to cry and went to sit on the truck tailgate. Then, Anthony sat next to him for this amazing picture. Maximino is a good man. It was a pleasure to spend that Sunday afternoon with him listening to his stories about his almost 30 years working for the DiMeo family. God bless Maximino Guzman. On behalf of Granpop DiMeo, we send our love and appreciation for his decades of hard work planting hundreds of acres of blueberries plants for Grandpop DiMeo.

"I FEEL ALIVE AND HAPPY HERE"said a teary eyed, 81 year-old Maximino Guzman, who worked for Grandpop DiMeo for almost 30 years. He worked in the old DiMeo blueberry field photoed below. He walked the blueberry fields with his granddaughter with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face. He said how it was hard work planting blueberries plants on the farm and that Grandpop DiMeo was a hard worker, but a good man to work for all those years. He said how much he respected Grandpop DiMeo, even though he was tough. Maximino also said that he was happy to see the DiMeo family's decades of hard work paying off with healthy blueberries now in high demand. He said, at the time, he couldn't find a job, so he went to Grandpop DiMeo who hired him and gave him a free place to live on the DiMeo farm and he was thankful that Grandpop DiMeo never charged him any money for rent, heat, electric or utilities for all those years. He said that allowed him to save money to raise all his children and bring them here from Puerto Rico. Maximino is truly great man and we will never forget him. He loved our DiMeo family, and we loved him.

Farmer Joseph DiMeo Turns 100 Years-Old

The DiMeo blueberry farming family has been blessed with impressive life longevity. It must be because they ate healthy blueberries and a single glass of homemade Italian wine at lunch and dinner every single day. Anthony DiMeo, Sr's mother, Nancy DiMeo lived until she was 98 years-old. His aunt (Nancy DiMeo's sister, Concetta) lived until she was 101 years-old. His older brother Joseph DiMeo, Sr. who was born and raised on the DiMeo family berry farms in New Jersey, lived to almost 101 years old. Grandmom Mildred "Millie" DiMeo lived to 97 years old. There is something to be said about most of the DiMeo's living well into their 90s and beyond 100 years-old. Healthy living on the family farm and eating locally grown berries, fruits and vegetables likely played a role. Watch the below video as the DiMeo family celebrated Joseph DiMeo's 100th birthday on the below memorable DiMeo family day together in Hammonton, New Jersey. God bless Uncle Joe. Watch 100 year-old Farmer DiMeo sing along with the entire DiMeo family.

Conservation & Forest Preservation at DiMeo Farms

At DiMeo Blueberries Farm & Plants Nurserywe feel good about giving back to the land since it has been so good to us over the years. So we started planting all types of red cedar trees along our blueberry farm fields in New Jersey. Along the wetlands areas, along the Hammonton Creek, we planted thousands of dollars in rare Atlantic White Cedar trees and along the highlands we planted other types of red cedar trees to keep the forest healthy. Yes, we love to see you planting blueberry bushes from our blueberry trees farm, but let's not forget about the trees. DiMeo Farms believes that we need to conserve our forests and keep them keep growing to protect our environment. Especially with all the new building and home developments being built these days. We all need to protect the land for future generations. We work closely with NJ Park Police officers who help us to protect, preserve and monitor important animal habitat in the beautiful Pine Barrens forests surrounding our family farm properties.

DiMeo Blueberry Farming History

Our DiMeo blueberry farm can trace its family history back to over 107 years ago, to around the year 1910 when then Italian immigrant Michael DiMeo came over from (Abruzzo) Sulmona, Italy. He and his two brothers, Salvatore DiMeo and Nicholas DiMeo originally settled in Providence, Rhode Island. After starting a successful DiMeo farm and roadside farm market in the Providence area, Salvatore later decided to head up to Bridgewater, Massachusetts and started growing raspberries. He became one of the biggest raspberry farms and growers in America. But, his brother, Michael DiMeo decided to head down to Southern New Jersey in search of higher quality farm land "without as many rocks" that would often break his farm tractor implements. He took a simple job on the Pennsylvania Railroad to earn money to travel, then one day he discovered Hammonton, New Jersey.He liked the small town of Hammonton and it's central location to New York City and Philadelphia. Michael DiMeo then purchased about 35 acres of farm land in Hammonton. He started theDiMeo family farmwith just a little blueberry patch behind his farm house. Here is a photo of him proudly standing in his first patch of blueberries in New Jersey.

The original DiMeo Berry Farms grew blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, butternut squash, apples, peaches, pumpkins, old fashioned yams and even sweet potatoes for many years. Mr. DiMeo eventually built it up into a much larger family farm as theDiMeo's continued investing in farm land duringThe Great Depression. They invested every penny they had in buying lots of farm properties. Photoed below is the son of Michael DiMeo, second generation blueberry farmer Anthony DiMeo, Sr. who stands proudly with the DiMeo family farm horse that he used to plow up the family's blueberry nursery to plant blueberries at his fathers farm, later to be passed down to him and his brothers, Michael and William DiMeo. All of who worked hard and devoted their entire lives to buy, develop, grow and build the various family berry farms that now carry forward their old fashioned berry farming methods. They were hard workers and visionaries. Even though they were not well educated,they were smart businessmen and amazing berry farmers. They knew how to grow the best tasting berries and how to raise super-hardy berry plants. They all had a deep rooted passion for farming and always put the family farm first.

Michael DiMeo turned the DiMeo family farms over to his three sons, Anthony DiMeo, Sr., Michael DiMeo, Jr. and William DiMeo, who slowly converted the entire DiMeo family farm operations to exclusively grow blueberries, blueberry plants and large blueberry bushes. Anthony DiMeo, Sr. began planting hundreds of acres of hardy blueberry bushes back in the 1940s. He started out with only 500 blueberry plants. Over the decades, Anthony DiMeo, Sr. and his brothers, including Frank DiMeo, Michael DiMeo, Jr., and William DiMeo built their own successful DiMeo-owned blueberry farms that today, through much sacrifice, have achieved great success. The DiMeo's have made a lifetime of investment, including Anthony DiMeo, Sr., who worked his entire life to buy, develop, build and grow the various DiMeo farms in Hammonton. Farming was his life. It's what he loved to do most. He was up every morning at 5am and was excited to get back into the field with his farm workers. He worked hard on the farm, saved his money and made the right investment by "betting the farm" on planting and growing blueberries.

Grandpop DiMeo Invests In Planting Blueberries

Second generation DiMeo blueberry farmer, Anthony DiMeo, Sr. retired when he was 86 years-old, but still worked on his farm until he was almost 90 years old. He devoted his entire life to passionately building, growing and working the DiMeo Family Fruit Farms as a proud American farmer. His entire life was the farm. He traveled very little throughout his life, but he accomplished so much, as he grew the operation with every day of hard work and sacrifice. He depended on the farm to provide for the entire DiMeo family, and it always did. It still does to this day. His idea of farming fresh all-natural berries was quite simple, grow the finest blueberries and BIG bearing-size blueberry plants and sell at a fair price. Some might say that Mr. DiMeo sold more blueberry bushes than anyone in America during his time. He also was an expert at growing blueberries and all the blueberry pickers came in from New York City and South Philadelphia during the Summer to pick DiMeo blueberries in season at his blueberry farm. Here are some of the original blueberry pickingtickets that were issued to Tony DiMeo's blueberry pickers about 102 years ago. To earn one of these tickets meant lots of hard work, but it fed many then, poor Italian-immigrant families from Philadelphia and New York City.

Grandpop DiMeo Remembers Hard, But Good Times

Farmer Anthony DiMeo, Sr. remembers his mother Nancy DiMeo making loaves of fresh Italian bread all the time. His parents always had the kids eat lots of bread to "keep their bellies full" when money was tight. In the Fall season, they would dig up all the cabbage and replant it by the house. They would cut down the corn and use the corn fodder to cover the buried cabbage and bury it a couple feet deep underground to keep it from freezing in the winter. The soft part of the corn husks were used to stuff or repair their sleeping mattress. Earning only $5.00 per week, working 15 hour days, 6 days a week on the DiMeo family farms in New Jersey. Every Sunday, the DiMeo family would take a day of rest and walk to church and back. Every child went to church and they all went as a family. After he married grandmom Mildred "Millie" DiMeo, they would still go to church every Sunday, and then they would take a walk on the family berry farm. Here is a photo of Tony and Millie standing on the children's swings behind the DiMeo family blueberry farms in Hammonton, New Jersey. Very hard workers. God bless them both.

In the Winter, the DiMeo family slept downstairs in the farm house. They literally sealed off the upstairs to store meat because it was so cold up there. It took too much wood to heat the entire house. The DiMeo homestead had only one wood stove and it was the only heat in the house. His mother Nancy DiMeo would pile up bricks on the stove to heat them up after dinner and then when each child went to bed, she would put a brick at their feet with a blanket tent around it. It was just enough heat to keep their feet warm until they fell asleep. Grandpop DiMeo said that if he took a glass of water to bed, in the morning the water would sometimes be frozen. At Christmas, each kid would get a pair of socks, one banana, a small orange and an apple.He remembers his mother saying "when you have a good time with someone, you never have enough time." He said, back then, people were different. There were few arguments, everyone was happy and they would help one another. They were poor, but happy.
